  • the tires are subjected to extreme dynamic and static loads. During vehicle operation, the tire may bounce through the thick, viscous sand conditions. The tire conditions result in the tire bouncing and deflecting, which can result in the tire failing earlier that its predicted life due to heat, high strain and bead failure. Thus, it is desired to have an improved tire which is a cooler running tire.
